Veteran Support & Wildlife Protection Charity Holiday Donation Drive Launched

VETPAW, a charity that supports US veterans and also helps to protect African wildlife, is launching a holiday donation drive in honor of Giving Tuesday.

VETPAW, which means Veterans Empowered To Protect African Wildlife, is a multi-layered charity organization that works to give US war veterans meaningful work opportunities, fight the illegal wildlife trade, protect endangered species, and support various African communities. In addition to its latest holiday donation drive, the charity is also proud to be announcing its new partnership with Erthecode, a pro-people and pro-planet self-care and skincare brand.

The recent announcement of their new holiday drive coincides with Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Giving Tuesday, which this year is celebrated on November 29, gives individuals an opportunity to continue reflecting on all the things that they are grateful for, and encourages them to support charitable causes that can help others to enjoy those same things.

VETPAW believes that Giving Tuesday is the perfect time to become a first-time donor, or to start up a longer-term relationship with their charity.

VETPAW is a 501(c)(3) and they devote themselves to making a genuine difference in the lives of groups and communities whose struggles are often silenced or erased, like veterans. They believe that by placing veterans in a position where they can actively work to save some of the world’s most beautiful animals and protect them from poaching, they will empower them and provide them with opportunities to use their diverse skill-set to do genuine good.

All money that is raised during the holiday season will go directly to their conservation efforts on the ground in Africa. Interested readers can check their website to see exactly how much each one of their initiatives costs.

Primarily, raised funds go to deploying veterans on month-long rotations to national parks throughout Africa, supplying them with gear and relocating animals who are at risk from poachers.

To commemorate the start of its holiday drive, the charity has also partnered with Erthecode. Erthecode is one of America’s fastest-growing wellness and cruelty-free, clean skincare companies. Throughout the holiday season, they will be donating 5% of every purchase to VETPAW.

VETPAW is proud to be a veteran-run organization devoted to serving US veterans. They welcome any and all donations this Giving Tuesday and throughout the holidays.

A spokesperson for the organization said, “VETPAW is a charity formed by post 9/11 US veterans with combat skills who are committed to protecting and training park rangers to combat poaching on the ground in Africa. We empower veterans because their skills learned on the frontlines of war are unrivaled.”
